The ASUS Zenbook Infinity first showed off its icy Gorilla Glass-clad curves at Computex back in June, and now it’s resurfaced in a video that’s making the rounds ahead of ASUS’ press conference here at IFA. Incidentally, the video hints at a new name — the Zenbook UX301 — and also clarifies most of the main specs. According to the video, the UX301 will have a Retina-esque 13.3-inch, 2, 560 x 1, 440 multitouch display, a Haswell Core i7 CPU, 802.11ac WiFi and ASUS SonicMaster audio tech. The flagship Ultrabook will no doubt draw fans of thin design as well, thanks to the 15.5mm (0.64-inch) profile. We’ll likely have a chance to play with it ourselves soon at ASUS’s upcoming event, so stay tuned. In the meantime, there’s a video after the break.

No amount of news about the Xbox One can compete with holding the console in your hands — thankfully, production is now in full swing for the planned November release. This was announced by Xbox Chief Marketing Officer Yusef Mehdi at the Citi Global Technology Conference, where he also revealed that the final product will have a slightly faster CPU than expected. Instead of the 1.6GHz processor we thought the console would have, it will be equipped with a 1.75GHz CPU. We can add that to the list of things we’ve found out about the console these past two months, including its GPU clock speed boost , lack of external storage support at launch and ability to recognize up to eight controllers at once. While Sony already has a specific target date for the PS4 launch , Microsoft has yet to conjure up one for its newest console, although that could change at the Tokyo Game Show .

The next iPhone will be officially unveiled on September 10th, as confirmed via the Apple-delivered invite that you see above. When the curtains pull back, it’ll be nearly a year to the day since the iPhone 5 was ushered into reality , and it’ll no doubt be a monumentally important day for the company. Particularly compared to the barrage of products Apple introduced in 2012 — iPad mini , iPhone 5 , the MacBook Pro with Retina display , enhanced MacBook Air / iMac / Mac mini lines, a redesigned iPod nano , a revised iPad / iPod touch / Apple TV , ad OS X Mountain Lion — 2013 has been eerily quiet. Outside of a tweaked iPhone 5 for T-Mobile’s network, a Haswell-infused MacBook Air and a tease of the next-generation Mac Pro , we’ve been left with little more than hopes for newly-inspired versions of iOS and OS X. That changes on the 10th of September, as at the very least, a next-gen iPhone will hit the stage. We’ll also holding out hope for a lower-end iPhone for emerging markets — markets where Android and even Windows Phone are the platforms of choice for communities making the move into the smartphone era. We wouldn’t put it past Apple to also revise its iPad line while it’s at it, and naturally, iOS 7 should be just about primed for release to the masses. As you’d expect, we’ll be on hand in Cupertino in order to liveblog every second of the action, and we’d invite you to cast your best guesses on what’s to come in comments below.

Google’s SVP Sundar Pichai has just confirmed — by way of the above photo — that the next version of Android is named KitKat (rather than the rumored ” Key Lime Pie “) aka version 4.4. The exec shared this geeky nugget on both Google+ and Twitter, while his company has updated the Android developer site with a page chronicling Android’s milestones so far. While details are light at the moment, Google teases its upcoming release with the following line: “It’s our goal with Android KitKat to make an amazing Android experience available for everybody.” And just to recap, here are all the previous dessert-based names: Cupcake, Donut, Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb, Ice Cream Sandwich, and Jelly Bean. Yep, it’s “K” after “J” now. Pichai also announced that there are now over one billion Android device activations, surpassing the 900 million mark back in May this year.
